1. Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
H Hsus4 H
Way back up in the woods among the ever greens
E
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
H Hsus4 H
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
F# F#7* F#
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
H Hsus4 H
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

R: Go go
Go Johnny go

Go Johnny go

Go Johnny go

2. He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
H Hsus4 H
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
E
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
H Hsus4 H
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
F# F#7 F#
People passing by they would stop and say
H Hsus4 H
Oh my that little country boy could play
H
R: Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
E

3. His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
H Hsus4 H
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
E
Many people coming from miles around
H Hsus4 H
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
F# F#7 F#
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
H Hsus4 H
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
